It is horrible and cruel and so horrible that people can treat animals like that. Donkeys are pets, they are the most sensitive and caring animals I have ever met. I will post something about this soon as well. I sort of missed all this last week. I will refer to some of the information you have here or link to it. Thank you so much for this.Ingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02924736131382149056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6816015196790632629.post-16637543382823847562012-06-20T21:25:38.221-06:002012-06-20T21:25:38.221-06:00I am a donkey owner, plus a haflinger mule, and a ...I am a donkey owner, plus a haflinger mule, and a Shetland!!

IMHO, rodeos are a throw-back to a cruel and unpleasant time in our history. Fortuantely, rodeos seem to be a "western" sport rather than one that appeals to the millions of folks in the east. Let's hope your efforts end rodeos everywhere!<br /><br />AnneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6816015196790632629.post-55870710603741579562012-06-19T16:08:47.120-06:002012-06-19T16:08:47.120-06:00I am anti ALL roping period.

According to the dispatcher I spoke to (Badge #361), Sheriff Carrillo says the donkey roping event on June 23 has been cancelled because of public input and the number of complaints received.
